as representative steve king, a republican from iowa, has said recently in an op-ed he published, the production tax credit has driven as much as $20 billion in private investment. this is not some bolshevik scheme. that's $20 billion in private investment supporting jobs here in the united states. manufacturing jobs here in the united states. wind power accounts for more than a third of all new u.s. electric generation in recent years. in colorado alone, mr. president, it's created 6,000 jobs. it's moved our state toward a more diversified and cleaner energy portfolio. but because they can't get any certainty out of washington, like everybody else, developers and manufacturers are already starting layoffs. they're laying off employees today in anticipation of the credit expiring at the end of the year. vestus is poised to lay off 1,600 workers if we fail to act. it's hard for me to understand when our concerns about the deficit and our concerns about economic growth are ones that we hear about every day on the floor, why laying off 1,600 workers in colorado is a good idea. eber drole

a lot of this is modeled after two very thorough reviews, led by steve coogan, one is a long-term strategic planning, followed by a much more intensive quadrennial technology review, and that quadrennial technology review is reflected in some of the things in this budget. so first budget request is 27.2 billion, and roughly reflects some tough choices to cut back on certain areas. so what are we cutting? well, the president's budget eliminates $4 billion in unnecessary fossil fuel subsidies. it skills backward on certain projects, for example, sodium ion battery, storage because actually it was successful and it is being commercially deployed. and it's on track of my build. it's also cutting back on the things that we have funded which did not work, and with the consent of, the get discontinued funny for combined total of nearly 35 projects. that did not reach milestones. and we are investing where we think will have the greatest impact. as an example, given the commercial success launcher we were not directly funding longshore went research. that is getting to be an established technology,

let's go back to what steve bartlett says. i will see mr. bartlett's quote that i had at the beginning. don't take my word for it. this is ronald reagan's economic advisor. he says the ryan plan is a monstrosity. the rich would receive huge tax cuts while the others would be shredded to take care of them. how far do you think they would get today with that kind of a statement? again, the ryan budget would rip up that source of a contract, replace it with a sort of survival of the fittest, winner take all. it's sort of a tough luck, you're on your own. if you're wealthy, life in the right circumstances, you're okay. or if you win the lottery, god bless you, you're okay if you win the lottery. but otherwise tough luck, you're on your own. i agree with what president clinton said last week when he said there are two competing philosophies here. one is the romney-ryan budget philosophy of you're on your own. the other philosophy is what i think we have been proposing, and that is that we're all better off when it's a -- we're all in it together
